Hospitalizations across the state have been steadily increasing since July 18, one health official said, with a 20% increase since Sept. 22.
The state on Wednesday was adding COVID-19 cases at an average rate of 35.3 per 100,000 residents, according to HealthyNebraska.org. That's up from 23.2 on May 8.
If Nebraska matches the fatality rate seen in spots where cases surged and overwhelmed hospitals, James Lawler says, the state could add 1,900 COVID-19 deaths by January.
